Reward

Famous quotes containing the word reward:

    Faith is believing what you do not see; the reward of faith is to see what you believe.
    St. Augustine (354–430)

    That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Thy love is such I can no way repay,
    The heavens reward thee manifold I pray.
    Then while we live, in love lets so persever,
    That when we live no more, we may live ever.
    Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
